Mommy make it go away

Thought I'd drop this in, since most of you aren't big on this kind of stuff but will get a kick from this anyway:

A new evil has been wrought upon humanity.

(BTW, for those that don't know, that's a motherboard. Image 2 is the back side.)

Appears that isn't the first time AOpen has sinned. Yes indeed, AOpen makes it possible for your PC innards to come in fabulous Barbie pink:

Well, Doreen, the troblem is the wire traces are still visible, makes colours like pink look "dirty".

A board I'd like to see is one with White PCB with all the traces and the plastic connectors done in a gold colour. Abit almost did something like this, but not quite (the connectors were their "standard" colours).

(I like it)
but why have everything pink inside and the box is solid pink outside instead of clear so you can't enjoy the view inside the box?... haha

Doreen: I don't know about their reliability as a vendor, but: http://www.clear-viewtech.com/

Clear Lexan (a product name for polycarbonate, the same type of superstong plastic iMac and PowerMac cases are made from) cases are quite popular. There is a problem though, as plastic isn't good for EMF shielding. Your PC could affect your radio, and your television, and if strong emissions are detected from your residence, the authorities WILL pay you a visit (incidently, Macs get around this because the PowerMac in metal under the panels, and the iMac has a number of fancy engineering tricks to minimise emissions).

ess I'm surrounded by so many machines between here and at work. I glow in the dark!

How do the authorities know you have strong emissions? I'd been busted along time ago, I'm not the average neighbor... hehe
